At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven’t even been on lemmy that long.

    That’s not an indictment of Lemmy specifically

    For me this is a major, glaring problem with Lemmy. The obtuse and bad faith arguments are a constant problem here. Some of the things that get upvoted are wildly wrong, openly biased, and would be ridiculed in most other settings.

    If not for instances like Lemmy.ml and hexbear it wouldn’t be so bad, but even if they disappeared, the Lemmy user base is an echochamber that’s out of touch with reality.
